Thanks for the pictures. Most interesting, most peculiar.=20
The setup visible on the second picture looks to me like one that would =
eliminate the stress excerted sideways upon the bridge that I alluded to =
in my previous post.=20
Not the case in the first picture setup. To me, the bridge seems the =
more vulnerable as it is laminated and uncapped.=20
I just love the little string slot on picture No 2. Brilliant!!
Are such agraffes used on Stuart pianos up and down the scale, or just =
in the bass section?
What does the downbearing look like on those pianos? The tensions alone =
would clamp the string to the bridge very effectively on this setup.

Cheers,

Jean-Jacques Granas
